Once Francine pays her rent, I will head over to the bank to make a bank deposit.

Now that I've made my bank deposit, I no longer have to worry about keeping track of all that money.

If not for making monthly bank deposits, I would surely have trouble keeping track of how much income my properties make.

Add a bank deposit

Save time! Access this feature from any screen using the shortcuts menu.

Navigate to Accounting > Banking.

A list of all bank accounts entered in Buildium appears, along with the balance available in each account.

The Undeposited column to the right shows the funds that have been received, but are yet to be deposited into a bank account in Buildium.

To deposit a payment that shows up as undeposited, click the name of the bank account that you want to deposit a payment to.

Click Record deposit.

In the Deposit pop-up window, enter the information about the deposit.

The Other deposit items section allows you to add amounts into the bank deposit that are not associated with a payment or owner contribution. For example, use other deposit items to add an expense reimbursement, like a check from the insurance company, to your bank deposit. You might also use an other deposit item to record laundry income or vending machine income.

The Undeposited payments section displays the payments that have not yet been recorded as deposited in the Buildium system. Select the check boxes next to the details of the deposits that you want to record.

If you have multiple checks sitting waiting to be deposited, you can select them all by using the check boxes. These will show as being deposited as one large lump sum deposit, and you’d be able to click into it to see the breakdown of who’s payment is included.

You can also choose to deposit each check individually, by selecting one check, clicking ‘save and new’ at the top, then selecting the next check. You’ll want to create your deposits as replicates of the deposits you’ve made in the real world - if you had several checks deposited together as one in the real world, you want to represent it that way in Buildium as well.
